Jesu, thou joy of loving hearts
Author: Ray Palmer (1808-1887) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 558 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesu, thou joy of loving hearts,
thou fount of life, thou light of men;
from the best bliss that earth imparts
we turn unfilled to thee again.
2 Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood;
thou savest those that on thee call;
to them that seek thee thou art good,
to them that find thee, all in all.
3 We taste thee, O thou living bread,
and long to feast upon thee still;
we drink of thee, the fountain-head,
and thirst our souls from thee to fill.
4 Our restless spirits yearn for thee,
where'er our changeful lot is cast,
glad when thy gracious smile we see,
blest when our faith can hold thee fast.
5 O Jesu, ever with us stay;
make all our moments calm and bright;
chase the dark night of sin away;
shed o'er the world thy holy light. Topics: Change; Light; Longing; Water Scripture: Luke 11:9 Used With Tune: ST SEPULCHRE Text Sources: Based on Jesu, dulcedo cordium, (Latin, 12th century)
Jesu, thou joy of loving hearts
He sat to watch o'er customs paid
Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 He sat to watch o’er customs paid,
a man of scorned and hardening trade,
alike the symbol and the tool
of foreign masters’ hated rule.
2 But grace within his breast had stirred;
there needed but the timely word:
it came, true Lord of souls, from thee,
that royal summons, 'Follow me.'
3 Enough, when thou wast passing by,
to hear thy voice, to meet thine eye:
he rose, responsive to the call,
and left his task, his gains, his all.
4 O wise exchange! With these to part,
and lay up treasure in the heart –
who now with crown of light doth shine
among the apostolic line.
5 Come, Saviour, as in days of old;
pass where the world has strongest hold,
and faithless care and selfish greed
are thorns that choke the holy seed.
6 Who keep thy gifts, O bid them claim
the steward’s, not the owner’s name;
who yield all up for thy dear sake,
let them of Matthew’s wealth partake. Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days St. Matthew Scripture: Matthew 9:9-13 Used With Tune: ST SEPULCHRE

Jesus, where'er thy people meet
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 515 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, where'er thy people meet,
there they behold thy mercy-seat;
where'er they seek thee thou art found,
and every place is hallowed ground.
2 For thou, within no walls confined,
inhabitest the humble mind;
such ever bring thee when they come,
and, going, take thee to their home.
3 Dear Shepherd of thy chosen few,
thy former mercies here renew;
here to our waiting hearts proclaim
the sweetness of thy saving name.
4 Here may we prove the pow'r of prayer
to strengthen faith and sweeten care,
to teach our faint desires to rise,
and bring all heaven before our eyes.
5 Lord, we are few, but thou art near;
nor short thine arm, nor deaf thine ear:
O rend the heav'ns, come quickly down,
and make a thousand hearts thine own. Topics: Opening Hymn; Year A Easter 2; Year B Advent 1; Year B Easter 2; Year B Easter 4; Year C Easter 2 Scripture: Hebrews 9:5 Used With Tune: ST SEPULCHRE
